I was recently on a job shadow (computer hardware engineer) and the people there showed me their shop full of unwanted computers. They called it the graveyard. Anyway, they gave me a laptop and it didn't even work. However, I did manage to bring it back to life, and install Windows 98 SE onto it. Now I only use it for school work and DOS gaming.
Specs: Dell Inspiron 3000 M200ST Windows 98 SE Pentium 1 MMX processor 32MB RAM 3GB Hard Drive capacity I was able to establish a broadband connection with a Belkin Wireless G card, but when I pluged it back in the second time, the screen turns black and the computer freezes(I'm trying to fix it). So far, I've been able to run all DOS games. And right now, I'm about to install DOS BOX so that I don't have to switch to pure DOS mode to play some of the games. |

That is fun I must admit!
I have a Siemes-nixdorf PCD-5 notebook with: Pentium 75 16MB RAM 60MB HDD FDD Infra-red + external mouse and keybord (these built-in does not work...) quite nice to play some old games but I can't play World of Xeen - it's too large for my disk Maybe if I would uninstall Win 3.1 and started using only NC ... hmm All, who love old games and old computers come to abandonia :brain:

Yeah it is fun. I've been playing UFO on it. And I can admit that this game has to be one of the better games i've ever played. I would like to install an external mouse to the laptop though.

I would like my internal laptop mouse working!
It's not a touchpad, which is in my opinion crappy stuff - it's good old trackball

I have a really good oldie in my storage area. I'm not exactly sure on the details, but it's something like this:
Compaq Presario 486 32mb Ram Windows 95 no ethernet, only modem I also have an unopened original version of windows 95, would anyone know how much that would go for on say, ebay? |

It's really more of a collector's item than anything... can either end up very low or very high, depending if such individuals spot the auction.

I do not know what happened, but my laptop is working. Some post ago I was complaining about keybord and mouse. Yesterday i opened it, connected the cables (that i disconected couple of month ago - because it was not working), and now it works!
YAY I hope it will stay working
